lights_control

Home lighting controller for Controllino mega

setup

Clone the repo, git submodule init and git submodule update.

Install the gcc-avr compiler. On ubuntu, for example, use sudo apt-get install gcc-avr to install the AVR cross compiler tools. Install avrdude, sudo apt-get install avrdude on ubuntu.

Or use the setup.sh script to build a docker and clone the submodules.

building

Once the setup is done, simply calling make in the root will build a lights1.hex and 'lights2.hex' (for controllino 1 and 2 respectively) file that can be flashed onto a Controllino maxi.

Or use the build.sh script to run the build in the docker.

variants

I have two different controllinos with two different configs so the Makefile will build two variants:

• lights1.hex for the original, main controllino
• lights2.hex for the additional controllino (upstairs)

flashing

make flash will flash using the first connected usb ACM device. It will assume it is a Controllino Maxi. You need to adapt the makefile in case you want to use a different USB port or target a different Controllino.

raspberry pi

flashing can be done using a raspberry pi and installing avrdude.

# use lights1.hex or lights2.hex accordingly
avrdude -v -patmega2560 -cwiring -P/dev/ttyACM0 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:lights.hex:i
